Day 7: Coral Caye

Julia Tao
Today was our last full day in Belize, where we once again ventured out into the ocean by boat. We revisited Coral Caye, where everyone was able to rest and recover from our hard work during the medical mission. I played with my little cousins, sang songs, and slept on the hammock. Then at 5, everyone left on the boat to go back to Placencia. After dinner at Cozy Corner, I went with my cousins to Tutti Frutti for ice cream and went with some other students to the soccer field to play soccer (two locals joined in as well), then walked back to Sunset Pointe to pack and sleep.

After the four days of hard work and effort, the last day was a time for relaxation for all of us. Most of us went deep sea fishing, hung out at Mrs. and Mr. Tao’s island that we were so privileged to stay for the day, or slept in the hammocks and regaining all the energy we spent throughout the week. Majority of the volunteers, including my friends and I, were leaving at 2 am in the morning. We decided to try and do an all nighter, fishing and hanging around with friends as it was our last time staying in Belize with everyone. Gabriela, Dean, Xitllalli, Julia, Ryan, and I ended up playing soccer with the local Belizeans. We decided to give a ball to them as a gift before we were off back to the US. When Dean, Ryan, and I arrived back to our rooms, most of us took a good nap and couldn’t stay up for the rest of the night. However, we each woke up to talk with some friends and walk around. To top the night off, Adam decided to fish and caught a huge snapper, something that ended the trip with a bang.
